Echo
Suriel Hess Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I know that things change but it's filling me with regret
Time did us dirty
We live and we're learning
Learning apart I guess
It don't stop the hurting or feeling the burden
We're starting to play pretend
You never call and neither do I
I hear the walls and they've been talking, tell a story that's longer than ours is
Always like this, we don't help it
Acting sideways, is it selfish when we
Let the space grow
Fade into an echo
It's been a while but I'm still wondering
If we gave it our all would you let me in again
Back of the bar, whiskey and sour, thinking 'bout old times
Got a weight on my heart why you making this harder
Always like this, we don't help it
Acting sideways, is it selfish when we
Let the space grow
Fade into an echo
There you go again, in my head
We can't seem to cover the distance
If we could confess, pull the thread
We'll wish that we stayed more consistent
You never call but neither do I
Missing your voice an echo at night
I hear the walls and they've been talking, tell a story that's longer ours is
Always like this, we don't help it
Acting sideways, is it selfish when we
Let the space grow
Fade into an echo
In the lyrics of "Echo" by Suriel Hess, the artist expresses his feelings of disconnect and regret as a result of a changing relationship. The first verse introduces this idea, with the artist acknowledging that "things change" but still feeling a sense of disconnection, which is "filling [him] with regret." The chorus expands upon this idea, with the artist lamenting the fact that neither he nor his partner ever reach out to one another. He misses the sound of his partner's voice, which is reduced to an "echo" in his mind, and feels burdened by the distance between them.
The second verse delves further into the idea of acting selfishly in relationships. The artist acknowledges that he and his partner let the "space grow" between them, and voices his concern about the possibility of his partner letting him back in if he were to try. He reflects on past memories with his partner while drinking at a bar, feeling weighed down by the difficulty of their current state. The final chorus once again touches on the theme of regret, with the artist imagining a scenario in which the two of them could have "confessed" their true feelings and stayed more "consistent" with one another.
Overall, "Echo" is a song that captures the feeling of distance and regret in a changing relationship. The lyrics effectively convey the artist's emotions, while the melody and instrumentation create a poignant and reflective mood.
